<\/p>\n

The project \u201cFriends from the Seaside\u201d was initiated in October 2002 on the premises of the former Gda\u0144sk Shipyard, in a U-boot assembly plant built by the Germans \u2013 hall 89 A. A direct impulse for an exhibition in that space came with an ephemeral show of Galeria Bezdomna (Homeless Gallery) created by Tomasz Sikora and Andrzej \u015awietlik. For the artistic scene of Gda\u0144sk, or at least for the part of that scene that represented a critical approach in art, that period became a time of major changes \u2013 the rector of the Academy of Fine Arts closed Galeria Wyspa (Island Gallery) after Dorota Nieznalska\u2019s exhibition \u201cPassion\u201d by virtue of the decision of the senate. Kolonia Artyst\u00f3w (Artists\u2019 Colony) was still in its early days, while Modelarnia (Model Workshop) had had just two shows. Apart from Galeria Ko\u0142o (Circle Gallery), there were virtually no venues that took interest in and exhibited works by students and young artists.

<\/p>\n

That situation encouraged a group of students and fresh graduates of the Academy of Fine Arts in Gda\u0144sk to pursue activities that was completely independent of the academy and official institutions. An artistic collective was organised by friends from a painting studio: Tomek Kopcewicz as well as Ania and Adam Witkowski. The first edition of the show \u201cFriends from the Seaside\u201d gathered works by Kuba Bielawski, Monika D\u0119tko\u015b, Andrzej Karmasz, Tomek Kopcewicz, Marcin Laszczak, S\u0142awek Lipnicki, Mateusz P\u0119k, Piotr Rubiecki, Micha\u0142 Szlaga, Malina Tomaszewska, Adam Witkowski, Ania Witkowska, Sebastian Wo\u017aniak, Karolina Wysocka. Concerts were performed by Rafa\u0142 D\u0119tko\u015b, Dj Decay, Krzysztof Arszyn Topolski alongside Piotr Rubiecki as D\u0119bia G\u00f3ra and Uniform (Krystian Wo\u0142owski, Adam Hryniewicki, Norbert Walczak). All involved artists were keen to present their own work and the work of their friends in a brand new place and context. They found independence on the premises of the former shipyard. \u201cFriends from the Seaside\u201d had no programme by principle, and spontaneity was a key feature of their show. The second edition was organised in the Aula gallery at the Academy of Fine Arts in Pozna\u0144. It offered a much more specific narrative that revolved around the post-German and tourist threads related to Gda\u0144sk. New artists included Alicja Karska and Ola Went as well as Wojtek Zamiara. Each of the \u201cFriends from the Seaside\u201d projects (Bydgoszcz, 2003; Cieszyn, 2014) was laid-back, open and based on friendship. The distance, informality, \u201cless official\u201d settings and frequency of the activities within the project combined to form an underlying definition of the artistic formation.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s exhibition \u201cFriends from the Seaside\u201d at Gda\u0144sk City Gallery 2 is another opportunity for Friends to meet and an attempt to restore a specific format of collective artistic activity. The first part of the exhibition (1st \u2013 31st of August) features archival works: paintings, films, murals, photographs made between 2002 and 2004. During the show, a plein-air is planned by the Mot\u0142awa (1st \u2013 7th of August). Works created during the plein-air are exhibited in the second chapter of the exhibition that runs between 11th of September and 11th of October 2015. The project culminates with a panel discussion (11th of October 2015) that concerns institutions and independent initiatives in Gda\u0144sk focusing on the ways they develop their programmes, and therefore \u2013 the ways they support the artistists in Gda\u0144sk.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The majority of the participating artists are former students of the studio run by Witos\u0142aw Czerwonka. Sadly, that great man, artist and teacher passed away prior to the opening. His disciples wish to honour the memory of their master (a word that is by no means far-fetched in this context) by dedicating the exhibition to him and incorporating one of his films into the show.<\/p>\n
